Come Alive! The Spirited Art of Sister Corita
Julie Ault

Admired by Charles and Ray Eames, Buckminster Fuller and Saul Bass, Sister Corita Kent (1918-1986) created some of most innovative and joyful American art of the 1960s, as well as battling the political and religious establishments, revolutionising graphic design and encouraging the creativity of thousands of people - all while living and practicing as a Catholic nun in California.

Marking twenty years since Corita's death, Julie Ault's lavishly illustrated book is the first to examine her life and career, following her artistic and political development throughout the 1960s and tells the story of her battles with - and departure from - religious life. The book contains more than 90 illustrations, many reproduced for the first time, capturing Corita's use of eye-popping and day-glo colour.
